No useless coffin enclosed his breast, Not in sheet nor in shroud we wound him; But he lay like a warrior taking his rest With his martial cloak around him. - [Military] Go, forget me--why should sorrow O'er that brow a shadow fling? Go, forget me--and to-morrow Brightly smile and sweetly sing. Smile--though I shall not be near thee; Sing--though I shall never hear thee. - Song--Go, Forget Me! [Forgetfulness] If I had thought thou couldst have died I might not weep for thee; But I forgot, when by thy side, That thou couldst mortal be; It never through my mind had passed, That time would e'er be o'er When I on thee should look my last, And thou shouldst smile no more! - Song--The Death of Mary [Death] But he lay like a warrior taking his rest, With his martial cloak around him. - The Burial of Sir John Moore [Death] Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note, As his corse to the rampart we hurried. - The Burial of Sir John Moore at Carunna (st. 3) [Soldiers]
